Which is what I am sending from latest t-bird in what I think is plain 
text, as below, and it works, my too long comment is not greyed out in 
the incoming echo from the listserver. You should see it incoming but 
not in a reply you make that quotes my msg for context. Your agent is 
supposed to throw it away, not retransmitting it again and again.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
